> 3 dayDer Stock-Lüfter an meinem Intel i5 3570K wurde durch den Noctua ersetzt. Bekanntermaßen hat die dritte Generation von Intels Prozessoren das Problem der Wärmeableitung mittels Heatspreader. Dieses Problem hat dazu geführt, dass der Stocklüfter immer mehr Arbeit zu tun hatte. Abhilfe hat der Noctua geschaffen. Gut verarbeitet und kaum hörbar.

> 3 dayThe question on my mind was: would this cooler fit in my Fractal Node 304 Mini ITX case?

> 3 dayHeftiger dicker Lüfter, wenn man ein ein vernünftiges Gehäuse hat und die Kabel ordentlich verlegt sind, ist es aber platzmäßig absolut kein Problem. Montagematerial ist auch alles dabei und auf den ersten Blick sieht es erst kompliziert aus, ist aber ganz einfach und es sind nur wenige Arbeitsschritte erforderlich. Bis jetzt war mein CPU immer äußerst kühl auch unter höherer Belastung. Super Verarbeitung.

> 3 dayInstallation did require removal of the mother board to install backer bracket but I knew this going into it. It allowed me to do a very thorough cleaning of the case, MB, video cards and PS. That being said, everything else was simple and fairly quick. The mounting system is rock solid and I dont worry at all about cooler movement. This fan cools much more efficiently at much lower rpm so theres alot less fan noise, as well as (so far) never having to go more than a very few rpms for my most taxing games. A major improvement, wish I hadnt waited to have an overtemp alert on the old fan before switching to this one. If youre going to go air and not liquid cooled, this is the way to go.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
